"As grateful as I feel, I honestly don't feel like I need to say anything but that no one is illegal on stolen land. I feel really hopeful in this room, and I feel like we just need to keep fighting and speaking up and protesting and our voices really do matter, and the people matter. And f**k ICE, is all I wanna say."
"Before I say thanks to God, I'm gonna say: ICE out, We're not savage, we're not animals, we're not aliens. We are humans and we are Americans. The only thing that is more powerful than hate is love, So, please, we need to be different. If we fight, we have to do it with love. to all the people that had to leave their homeland, their country to follow their dreams."
